Rutgers University Geology Museum, Geology museum in New Brunswick, United States.
The Rutgers University Geology Museum occupies multiple floors of Geology Hall, displaying extensive collections of minerals, fossils, and geological specimens.
Founded in 1872 by professor George Hammell Cook, the museum originated from scientific specimens collected in the 1830s by naturalist Lewis Caleb Beck.
The museum contributes to scientific education through lectures, guided tours, and interactive programs designed for students, families, and community groups.
